“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an escapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
~Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the recent months, it has been upsetting turning on the news especially when we, as a national whole, watched a police officer kill George Floyd in broad daylight by kneeling on his neck for almost nine minutes. It not only was devastating, but heartbreaking to us all, seeing this murder being taped for all of us to watch, as the other officers at the scene, did nothing to stop it while George Floyd yelled that he couldn’t breathe. I’ve never watched something so inhumane, brutal and callous in my life. Yet, we still keep seeing this type of racism happen before George Floyd and sadly, even after him. This should never have happened in the past, this should never happen presently, and this should never happen in the future. Enough is enough! We are all one race and that is the H U M A N race and we all should be treated equally and justly. BLACK. LIVES. MATTER.
We should all be kind, be loving, be compassionate and be supportive of one another. And that includes in business as well. I decided to write this fashion post to highlight some amazing companies that I have bought from and have showcased on my IG page over the years. Female owned, black owned & small business owned….boutiques & cute shops that feature different, funky & fun pieces of clothing, from accessories, to shoes & of course bags!
